Opening Reception and free concert: April 17, 7 - 10 pm
Performance Nights: April 24 & 25, 7 to 9 pm ($6 admission for each night)

This April, the Emily Harvey Foundation presents the first major retrospective of works by John Berndt (b. 1967). Berndt's vital and idiosyncratic cultural activity over the last thirty years has touched nearly every aspect of experimental culture. Best known to the public as a prolific musician, composer and improviser and as a key organizer in the scene around the international High Zero festival, Berndt's work from the very beginning also involved the creation of coherent novelties in a broader range of media, including personal behavior, film, visual art, text, installation and a variety of non-musical performance genres. Driven by his unique philosophy and collaborations, his panoramic sensibility is the subject of the show.

Hours: Tues - Sat. 2 - 6 pm

A series of performances by the artist, film-maker, writer, musician and second wave Neoist John Berndt, to coincide with his first retrospective exhibition. Berndt will be improvising with Elliot Sharp, Lukas Legetti, and Peter Zummo & Katt Hernandez amongst others. Events take place between 17 - 25 April. from Wire Magazine
